Eh, it really shouldn't have mattered. You knew they were going to score at least ONE touchdown. And of course, we had a golden opportunity to answer right back and add to the lead right before half. And then add to it some more at the beginning of the third. So, as much as it bugged me that it was a long play made possible by poor tackling (and an uncalled offensive hold), I don't think Cincy scoring late is a black mark. The OFFENSE had a chance to keep them buried.
I mean, if you had told me before the game that Cincy would score 24 points in regulation, I would've been sure we would've won, because I was very confident we were going to score at least 31 points (I was thinking we'd win 31-24, 31-27, 38-27, something like that). And by God, we should have.
